Rising Sun lyrics
by Joe Brown
[Verse 1]
On the street of villains
Taken for a ride
You can have the devil as a guide
And crippled by the boundaries
Programmed into guilt
Until your nervous system starts to tilt
And in the room of mirrors
You can see for miles
But everything that's there is in disguise
Every word you've uttered
And every thought you've had
Is all inside your files, the good and the bad
[Chorus 1]
But, in the Rising Sun
You can feel your life begin
Universe at play
Inside your DNA
And you're a billion years old, today
Oh, the Rising Sun
And the place, it's coming, from
Is inside of you
And now your payment's overdue
Oh, the Rising Sun
Oh, the Rising Sun
[Verse 2]
On the avenue of sinners
I have been employed
Working there until I was near destroyed
I was almost a statistic
Inside a doctor's case
When I heard the messenger from the inner space
He was sending me a signal
That for so long I had ignored
But he held on to my umbilical cord
Until that ghost of memory
Trapped in my body, mind
Came out of hiding to become alive
[Chorus 2]
And, in the Rising Sun
You can hear your life begin
And it's here and there
Nowhere and everywhere
Though its atmosphere is rare
Oh, the Rising Sun
And the place that it's coming from
Is inside of me and now I feel it constantly
Oh, the Rising Sun
Oh, the Rising Sun
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 1]
And, in the Rising Sun
You can feel your life begin
Universe at play
Inside your DNA
And you're a billion years old, today
Oh, the Rising Sun
And the place, it's coming, from
Is inside of you
And now your payment's overdue
Oh, the Rising Sun
Oh, the Rising Sun
[Outro]
Oh, the Rising Sun
Oo-ooo-ooh...
